Posted in thread: 6 Foot Ceiling too Low? on 03-15-2015 at 08:34 PMMy basement is about the same, but I'm only 5'5", so no issues there. I bought a stainless

highest po...

Posted in thread: 6 Foot Ceiling too Low? on 03-13-2015 at 02:36 AMSorry if I have missed this somewhere.... Thinking about going electric, but before I put too
much thought into it I need to get a sense of whether my basement ceiling height is doable.It's
